In recognition of the growing role of on-chip communication, recent work has addressed the development of system-level analysis techniques for estimating the impact of the communication architecture on overall system performance and power consumption. In this section, we describe such techniques, which aim at providing automatic support to drive the process of communication architecture selection, design, or optimization. These techniques can be broadly divided into the following categories.
System simulation-based techniques. In this class of techniques, the effects of the communication architecture are incorporated by developing suitable simulation models of the communication ...
